Abstract

Brugada syndrome (BS) is a cardiologic disorder which favours cardiac arrhythmias and is thought to be responsible for about 20–50 % of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in individuals with a structurally normal heart. There are three electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristic patterns associated with BS. From an index case, 130 family members were screened for BS and data collected in order to identify possible influential factors for the manifestation, and fluctuations, of Brugada patterns in ECG results. Moreover, data collected from family members were analysed in order to evaluate the necessity for more than one ECG in screening for BS. Also, the effect of displacing ECG electrodes in the sensitivity and specificity of the exam was analysed.
